Deadline: 31 July 2014
The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Government of India is inviting Indian NGOs to register their participation for the community radio workshops which will be organized in various parts of India during the current year.
In December 2002, the Government of India approved a policy for the grant of licenses for setting up of Community Radio Stations to well established educational institutions including IITs/IIMs.
The matter has been reconsidered and the Government has now decided to broad base the policy by bringing NGOs under its ambit in order to allow greater participation by the civil society on issues relating to development & social change.
The following can register to attend the workshops:
§ Organizations explicitly constituted as a ‘not-for-profit’
§ Societies, NGOs, trusts, voluntary organizations and CBOs registered under the Societies Act or any other such act relevant for the purpose
§ Organizations should have a proven track record of at least three years of service to the local community.
§ Organizations should be blacklisted by the Government or any other international organization/body
§ Organizations which have already attended community radio workshops are not eligible to register.
Only one person from each organization will be invited to participate in the workshop. Train fare, boarding and lodging will be provided by the Ministry.
To register your participation, you can apply to the Deputy Director, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, ‘A’ Wing, Shastri Bhawan, Room No, 116, New Delhi 110001 or visit http://www.cronlineindia.net
